71 dart 17 inch streeter wheels myb need longer studs

[Flyinbrian72duster]

I got American legend streeters , I have drums front and back wheels fit fine. There 17s small bolt pattern. My concern is I get 8 turns by hand til snug on the front. Is that enough ? There 7/16 20 .555 knurl I was gonna get longer ones but cant find them other than stock. I'm sure someone runs the same wheels on here please help lol .theres enough thread to cover the standard lugs.

I've seen 8 to 8.5 threads of engagement as minimum for 7/16-20 threads. I've found lug nuts go another turn or two when seating them all from hand snug. I would install a wheel, all 5 lugs torqued then remove one and count the turns to tight to be sure.

Tire rack says number of turns engagement is 9. I have not checked it yet but why would they sell these wheels for small bolt pattern if stock studs didn't work and you cant get longer ones idk anymore lol.
